I purchased the massage gun to aid in recovery after runs, and from chasing after my children. I’ve seen similar units being used by athletes in various sports lately, but I had no idea how effective it would be for me until I gave it a try. Pain relief is immediate while using the device and it really seems to make a difference the next day after using it on a muscle group.The case is compact and well designed. It seems study enough to protect the contents of you toss it into your gym back or into a drawer. It has a nice carry handle on the top.Inside there are five different massage heads, although I use the ball head at least 90% of the time. Personal preference may lead you to find one of the other ones more effective.It also includes a usb C charging cable. One minor negative is it doesn’t include a power adapter for it, you have to supply your own. You very likely have several already in your home like I do, but I still prefer to always get an adapter with each product.The unit itself is smaller than I anticipated making it very easy to handle and maneuver into position.There are five different vibration speeds. I find the lowest three are the most effective. The fastest speed is as aggressive as you could want, any more would likely be uncomfortable. If I could make a small change I would add another speed even slower than the first setting to widen the range even more.I was somewhat concerned that the onboard battery pack would make it too heavy to comfortably use over time, but I actually find the weight to be about perfect. You need a bit of heft to help absorb the vibration from the massage head.The battery seems to have plenty of power. I’ve used it for about an hour between charges without fully draining it. It takes around three hours to charge it back to full from that point. The four LED’s on the bottom clearly show the remaining batter in 25% increments.Overall my experience with it is extremely positive. There are a couple of small changes I would like to see in a version 2, but I have no reservations about recommending this version as is to anyone looking for pain relief from muscle soreness.
